NewsTranscript
00:00The Mayor of Porac, Pampanga and 10 officials of the local government are suspended
00:06while they are being investigated for giving a permit to illegal pogo in Porac, Pampanga.
00:12The Mayor of Porac, who is being given special treatment, previously refused the pogo.
00:16Witness, Salima Refran.
00:22The Ombudsman appointed 6 preventive suspensions to the Mayor of Porac, Pampanga, Jaime Capil
00:29and 10 officials of the local government of Porac.
00:32While they are being investigated for the complaint filed by the DILG
00:36regarding the gross neglect of duty related to the operation of the Lucky South 99 Pogo in Porac.
00:42If proven, they may be removed from their positions.
00:46According to the documents from the Ombudsman, Capil was complained because it is illegal
00:51for business permit signatories to investigate the irregularities in the documents of the Lucky South 99.
00:58Three years later, Capil approved the permit of the Pogo, even though it was not up to the requirements.
01:05Capil did not immediately take action to recover the business permit of the Lucky South 99
01:10when its PagCor license would expire.
01:13He also did not immediately take action on the traces of criminal activity in the compound.
01:18We are still trying to get the license of the Porac LGU.
01:22It is still unclear who will be the acting mayor.
01:25Capil has previously denied the allegations of special treatment in the Lucky South 99.
01:31In the case of Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo,
01:34the Bureau of Immigration continues its investigation, particularly on private airplanes.
01:40This was followed by a complaint to the Senate yesterday that it was not a boat,
01:44but a plane that Guo drove away from the Philippines.
01:47What we are doing is coordinating with our counterparts there to get the manifesto of the aircraft that he drove.
01:55The possibility of them crossing a private airstrip is increasing.
02:00Meanwhile, the authorities should be careful of what Mary Ann Maslug,
02:04who is facing the Senate hearing on the illegal Pogo yesterday, is saying.
02:08Maslug is one of those who was charged with a P24M textbook scam in 1998
02:15and was declared dead by his lawyer in Sandigad, Bayan.
02:19Maslug, who was used by his alias Jessica Francisco,
02:23was an asset of the police who was hired to help Guo in his trial before he was arrested in Indonesia.
02:31But Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa's allegation
02:34is that someone ordered Maslug from Malacanang to cross him and former President Duterte in an illegal Pogo.
02:42It's too early to tell. Maybe later, he will be able to say something.
02:45Well, you know, if a person has no credibility, can you still feel trust?
02:51Now, he is just confused in the investigation.
02:53She will never be a credible witness involved in a textbook scam.
02:58And she was trying to bribe officials in Malacanang in 1999.
03:05The PNP defended the conversation of the Intelligence Group Chiefs
03:10to a person who has a doubtful record.
03:13We don't choose where the information comes from,
03:17but we have to vet and validate if the information we get,
03:21and even the source of information, is reliable and has a semblance of truth to what she is saying.
03:28There is no deal whatsoever with Ms. Maslug.
03:31GMA Integrated News is still trying to get hold of Ms. Maslug.
03:36For GMA Integrated News, here are 5 of your witnesses.
03:51For GMA Pinoy TV, that's www.gminews.tv.
